GitHub is "The AI-powered developer platform".
Not the "Build software better, together. Powerful collaboration, code review, and code management for open source and private projects." we signed up for years ago. (github's main page from webarchive).
@lispi314 @cthos @fedor @clementd even if we consider Microsoft's investment in OpenAI & AI in general a neutral thing (it's not), then it still doesn't make sense: GitHub is about people and projects.
Without people or projects, it'd be pointless. Like, it'd just be random AI generated code of no actual value.
@thisismissem @lispi314 @cthos @clementd but microsoft being an evil corp is not about people and projects.
GH at this point holds Library of Alexandria kind of value - it have implementations of all known algorithms, glue code for all known platforms etc etc.
AI is a way for an evil organisation to convert this value into a short term money.
@fedor @clementd @github like, could you imagine Wikipedia getting the tag line "AI-powered knowledge platform" or YouTube "AI-powered video platform"?
"AI-powered development platform" so undervalues the developers it isn't funny. It's not the AI that makes GitHub GitHub, it's the people, the contributors, and the projects.
Without the people there'd be no GitHub. AI code generation is an extra feature some may use, not the platform.
@chrisisgr8 @fedor I'm on a self-hosted SourceHut, or you could use the showcase instance.
Also there's Gitea (or I think its been forked now) with Codeberg being its showcase. Or for larger projects GitLab's very featureful!
Other options include installing Git on some server you have SSH access to, possibly installing CGit for a web viewer. This is the less featureful option!
Soon, it will have enough input from copilot, to replace users with "full pilot".

@Andre_LA @fedor Easier? I am with @drewdevault on this: https://spacepub.space/w/km8oBzu2qw5V8yhJ3rV1TK
Sadly I can't read this link on my browser (it returns a json), but I suppose it's the e-mail workflow?
https://drewdevault.com/2018/07/02/Email-driven-git.html
In case it is:
Easier doesn't necessarily means better, I also like Drew's method, and I plan to learn it well eventually, but I appreciate codeberg's low entry barrier.
Also, I'm a game developer, and sometimes I share with artists (or any non-programmers) links to the repository, so an not-so-technical navigation helps them.
@mcepl @Andre_LA correct comparison would be with this process: https://spacepub.space/w/9Dfeq3fBXABUQPY8XR4RgU
I for sure can see how github-like workflow could be considered easier.
Got the first video working, just watched now, pretty nice, I did a check, and fortunately codeberg doesn't hides the .patch (although not that visible either).
On a pull request, you go on the changed files, and on the options dropdown there's the button to download the patch.
Or just add ".patch" at the end of the URL of the PR.
Anyway, I appreciate codeberg's way, even GH-like can be hard to learn for who is just starting, but it doesn't hides the patch file as GH does.
@fedor I'm not developer so I don't often use GitHub except when I need to download stuff, but this is just absurd.
Worst part? I just checked GitLab as well and it's also saying it's an AI-powered developer platform...
@NullTheFool "GitLab is the most comprehensive
AI-powered DevSecOps Platform." (from gitlab homepage)
GitLab is a VC company with a long track record of evil/horrible decisions.
Sourcehut or codeberg might be a better github alternative.
That just adds one more reason to #GiveUpGitHub :
* https://giveupgithub.org
* https://giveupgithub.com
and to support #ForgeFed :
